Logged In: YES user_id=973611 Thanks for the pointer. I'm actually not smitten with any of the approaches for long<->byte-string conversion (mine included). Now that I think about it, the best interface might be if Python had a 'bytes' type, then both conversions could be done by constructors: long(bytes) bytes(long) If Python is going to grow such a type in the future, maybe we can defer this question, and live with the hexlifying and whatnot, till then.
